I had a yucca type thing. I have tried many times to poison it, I cut it 
down and tried roundup etc but it always regrew.A while ago tome 
professional type persons cut it down and it does not look like 
regrowing. What secret poison would they have used?

You have to give me the secret handshake before I can tell you.

Probably Tree and Blackberry and other woody weed herbicide with the active 
ingredient being Triclopyr.

I just looked at my fathers poison cupboard and found blackberry and 
tree killer with triclopyr  and one with 2.4.5 T.
Is the second one the one they banned ? or are they both banned in 
australia?
Would the 245T one be the better killer?

Hmmm.  I can't tell you I'm afraid.  I do recall being surprised when I 
learned that "Agent Orange" (or a close look alike) was still approved for 
agricultural use in Oz but I can't recall whether Agent Orange involved 245T 
or 245D or both of them.  I did know at the time but it's now slipped my 
memory banks.

I'd suggest you do a google to find out.

I've never used 245T so also can't comment on its effectiveness.  I have 
used Triclopyr and I know that it works.  I use it with a paint brush as I 
don't want stuff of tree killing strength to get anywhere but the target 
plant.
